Congrats Coach Aliff!

A huge congratulations to our Wrestling Club Treasurer, youth wrestling coach, youth football coach, and youth baseball coach Nick Aliff on his upcoming induction into the Ashtabula Touchdown Club Hall of Fame!

Nick had a phenomenal playing career—dominating every field, mat, and gym he stepped in. But what’s even more impressive is the impact he continues to make off the field. Now in his fifth year with the Riverside program, Nick has poured the same work ethic, discipline, and character into our athletes that made him successful in sports, in serving our country, and in becoming the incredible man he is today.

Our kids, our programs, and our community are better because of him.

Congrats, Nick Well Deserved

Special Thanks to the Riverside Youth Football Family!

A huge thank you to all our players, parents, coaches, board members, and the school for doing a phenomenal job yesterday as we hosted the League Super Bowl. The day ran smoothly thanks to everyone’s hard work and support.

Big shoutout to our Riverside B Gold team, who pulled off an exciting victory in the B Division Silver Bracket Super Bowl! It was a thrilling game filled with big moments — and our kids never flinched.

Another well-deserved shoutout to our Riverside C Gold team, who battled their way to the C Division Gold Division Super Bowl, finishing as runners-up against a tough Willoughby squad. As the #6 seed, they made an incredible run, fought hard, and took the game down to the final seconds.

Thank you all for making this such a memorable way to cap off the 2025 season.

Stay tuned this week for banquet details and additional equipment turn-in dates.

Reminder- we are hosting two of our teams — B Gold (11:00 AM) and C Gold (2:00 PM) — for the Super Bowl at Riverside today!!

Come out and cheer these boys on as we wrap up another successful season.

In addition, we’ll be holding our first equipment turn-in session that day. You can drop off equipment at the storage pod near the varsity baseball field during any of the following times:

10:00–11:00 AM

12:30–2:00 PM

3:00–5:00 PM

We’ll also announce an additional date for anyone unable to make it this weekend.

Thank you for helping make this another great year for Riverside Youth Football
